Ave., where they have purchased a
magnificent building, the Seven floors
are each 100x195 feet, aggregating
nearly 100000 square feet (about 3
acres) of floor surface. The new
quarters will enable them to handle
their large business to the better,ad
vantage of their thousands of custom
ers. Fifteen years ago Messrs. Mont
gomery Ward & Co. occupied but one
room and that only 25x4O feet. The
enormous growth of their business
during these fifteen years can only be
explained by the fact that they sell
direct to consumers, supplying all
their wants, and never misrepresent
any article. The success ofthis house
proves the old saying, that "Honesty
is the best policy" and from this pol
icy they never deviate. The Fall

Special to Nashville Banner.
There is considerable excitement in
the upper edge of Smith and the adj
joining portions of Putnam and Jack
son counties over the reported discov-
cry of lead and silver ore. 1t is said
to exist in paying quantities at sever
al places in that region. This lead ore
is declared to be the cause of deadly
sickness in certain sections. The pois-
onous salts of lead become dissolved
in the water in the hills and runs out
a spring of pOison-for not over two
out Of five persons affected recover.
There is a large cave on the premises
of Hop Lee, in the same section,
out. of which valuable specimens OF
lead ore have been obtained. This
ore is also said to give rise to fire.
damp that renders the exploration Of
the cave very dangerous. Three men
lost tneir lives in the cave at one
time, being ~suffocated.

Stopped His Swearing.

Troy Times.
There is a young mar who travels
for wholesale grocery, living in
Minneapolis, who is a very good fell
low, but he has fallen into the habit
of using profanity almost constantly.
His charming wife tried a dozen
ways to break him of the habit with
out success. Finally she decided up
on a plan. He came home the other
evening and remarked:
cts been a h-of a day, hasn't it?'
"What in the haas been the mat
ter with it ?" asked the wife, coolly.
He looked as if he had been hit
with a cyclone. 1t required two
days to break the young man of the
habit, for his wife repeated every
''swear word" he used in her pres
ence. Now he doesn't swear even
when he misses a nail and strikes his
finger with the hammer.

Natural Gas in 1927.

In 1927 there lived in Washington
County, Pa, a farmer by the name of
McCook, an uncle, says the Pitts
burg Times, Of the famous General
Arson G. McCook, the present Secre-
tary of the United States Senate. Nc
Cooks farm was situated on the old
national pike, eight or ten miles out
of Brownville. In attempting to dig
a well a short distance back from the
pike he struck a large flow of natural
gas. This by accident became ignited
and the flame it gave forth scared the
horses passing on the pike, and many
runaways occurred. This went on
for some time, until the authorities
in that section passed an ordinance
stigmatizing it as a nuisance, and
compelling McCook to suppress it as
such, which he did. Thus what the
citizens of Pittsburg now consider the
greatest discovery of the nineteenth
century, just half a century ago the
citizens of Washington County con-
sidered the greatest nuisance.

Farming as it Should Be.
Cor. Springfield, Mass, Farm & Home.

Cor. Springfield, Mass, Farm & Home.
L do not wonder that young people
generally dislike farming, for what
can be more dull and unpleasant than
the average farm life to a high-spirit-
ed, ambitious boy or girl? A shabby
set of buildings, with old broken
fences; a rough, disordered door
yard with no flowers, but many times
covered with ugly rocks, old logs and
unsightly rubbish-these r not cal
culated to render a boy proud or a
girl happy. A farmer should be, first,
thrifty he should keep his fields
clean and we'll cultivated, his walls
and fences up, and his buildings well
repaired and painted. He should
feed his cattle well and be proud of
them, and keep a horse that the
young folks are not ashamed to
drive. He should study his vocation
and adopt the best methods, keeping
up with the times. Nothing is more
important than that his children like
their work and home, and nothing
will encourage them so much as rem
dering that home attractive to them.
Every farmer should, if possible, pos
sess a lawn beautified with Ornamen-
tai trees, plants and flowers well ar
ranged and trimmed. | think this as
desirable as a good field, and it does
not cost a quarter as much as many
farmers lose by shiftlessness. The en-
.jcyment a family would take from it
richly repays the cost. A croquet
set looks better to me than a lot of
old broken wheels or rotten rubbish |!
Farmers should read, enjoying the
best literature as well as " the news"
and give their children opportunities
of culture and society.
Such farming is the most independ-
ent, healthful and enjoyable occupa-
ton, and when pursued with energy
and ability is capable of giving the
handsOmest returns-everything con-
sidered-of any business on earth.
Shiftlessness is the great disease of
farmers, and thrift the best remedy.

A Horse that was a Setter.

n man had a horse that would sit
down whenever he was touched in
the flank. He would just squat
down on his headquarters like a dog.
The man tried to break him of it,
but he couldn't, and nobody would
buy him. One day a sportsman came
along and made his acquaintance,
and they took a ride together to hunt
cartridges. When they found a
covey the man touched his heels TO
his horses TANKS and he sat down.
What makes your horse do that?"
said the sportsman. "Why, he's a
setter" said the man. "He sets
birds just like a dog" The sports
man'thought he was a most wonder
full horse, and he snapped for him
and gave $50 to boot, and then got on
him, and after a while they came to
a creek that was very deep, and as
the sportsman held up his feet to
keep them out of the water, his heels
touched the horse in the flank and
down he sat in the water. When he
got him up and cut all dripping wet
he was mad as a wet hen, and said ::
Well, sir, what made this horse do
that way in the water?" 81 forgot
to tell YOU" said the man, that he
sets fish just as well as he does birds"
